Also, I was too busy paying attention to my favorite team having an awesome year to care about two teams that were fighting for second place in the Central Division. <BR/><BR/>Yep, I was one of 6 people who was not riveted by the homerun chase.

Or maybe in less defense of Jayson Stark, he thinks it is the mid-80's and is surprised he hasn't seen Paul Young attend games lately.Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300012139741038635.post-64030850667889321472009-02-09T10:31:00.000-08:002009-02-09T10:31:00.000-08:00though it seems heaven sent, we ain't ready to see...though it seems heaven sent, we ain't ready to see a black president.Chris Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12152452626681072765noreply@blogger.com
